Nov 25, 4:11PM
There’s no shortage of startup incubators and accelerators, but there’s always room for improvement and iterations on an old operating model. Expa Labs, a six-month program for startups that spun out of Uber co-founder Garrett Camp’s Expa Studios, has a different take on the startup accelerator/incubator model. Last week, it wrapped up its first batch of startups. Launched… Read MoreNo more pastry panic: Alexa can now talk you through recipes
Nov 25, 4:00PM
When I cook I make a huge mess and the product is edible about 50 percent of the time, which is why I’m hoping Alexa can help.

At the time of its inception some two centuries ago, the supply chain was a revolutionary idea that would improve visibility and control on goods and products as they moved from point A to point B. But the old concept and technology can no longer support today’s production and supply cycles. Hopefully, the supply chain problem can be remedied with blockchain.

Companies should focus more on the… Read MoreVirata is an automatic watch with a racing pedigree

The watches look like chunks of crystalized… Read MoreBig data company Palantir quietly raised another $20M in November
